For the Record

“I wrote my own book, unlike Kamala Harris, who copied hers from Wikipedia.” —JD Vance

“When the FBI originally released the ‘final’ crime data for 2022 in September 2023, it reported that the nation’s violent crime rate fell by 2.1%. This quickly became, and remains, a Democratic Party talking point to counter Donald Trump’s claims of soaring crime. But the FBI has quietly revised those numbers, releasing new data that shows violent crime increased in 2022 by 4.5%. The new data includes thousands more murders, rapes, robberies, and aggravated assaults.” —John R. Lott Jr.

“The American people realized that Kamala Harris is, after all, Kamala Harris. She’s still the awkward, empty, incoherent mess she was when she ran for president in 2019. She doesn’t know how to answer basic questions about her own policies; worse, she doesn’t even know her own policies. … In short, she’s terrible. And she was always terrible.” —Ben Shapiro

Democracy, She Explained

“Elections are decisions. You decide to win. I decided a while ago that Donald Trump will never set foot in the White House again as president of the United States or in any other capacity. So when you make a decision, you have to make every decision in favor of winning … and the most important decision of all is the candidate.” —Nancy Pelosi on her decision to “save democracy” by ousting the democratically chosen nominee of her party

Race Bait

“Vice President Kamala Harris is rushing to fix a growing hole in her support: Black men. She’s buying votes with thinly veiled, taxpayer-funded giveaways. … And worse, she’s targeting Black men with these giveaways, as if no one else deserves to participate in her ‘opportunity economy.’ … What’s un-American and contrary to the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment is offering help to people based on their skin color or ethnicity.” —Betsy McCaughey

“Black men are not political infants. We know exactly what’s happening with the Democratic Party. We know that they’ve exploited us for over six decades, and we are saying, just like Moses said to Pharoah, ‘Let my people go.’” —Pastor Lorenzo Sewell, 180 Church, Detroit

Brave Women

“We refuse to participate in any match that advances injustice against female athletes.” —statement from the University of Nevada women’s volleyball team, which will forfeit an upcoming game against San Jose State University, whose most powerful hitter is a biological male

Non Compos Mentis

“[If Trump wins,] it will be the cause of the greatest mental health crisis in the history of the country.” —Mark Halperin

And Last

“I’m going to a McDonald’s to work because if I work there for ten minutes I will have worked there longer than her.” —Donald Trump
